Another organization doing brilliant work with the
BFC is the Black-footed Cat Working Group. Their goal is to study the ecology,
reproduction and health of black-footed cats in South Africa. They feel that
through extensive research they will be able to help improve its ex situ
breeding potential, which is the process of moving part of the species population
to another less threatening location. You can find out a lot more info about the
BFC, the Black-footed Cat Working Group and how you can help by visiting their

Our niche
The EWT fills the key niche of on-the-ground conservation action. Our specialist programmes
and large team of skilled field staff are deployed throughout southern Africa and focus on
applied fieldwork, research and direct engagement with stakeholders. Our work supports
the conservation of species and ecosystems, and recognises the role that communities
play in successful conservation programmes. We focus on identifying the key factors
threatening biodiversity and develop mitigating measures to reduce these.
Through a broad spectrum of partnerships and networks, we develop innovative methodologies
and best practice guidelines that help to reduce negative environmental impacts and promote
harmonious co-existence and sustainable living for both people and wildlife.
